Yay MERT! -- MERT won the National Collegiate EMS Organization of the Year this weekend at the convention of all the MERT-like organizations around the country. This further proves that despite the fact that we rarely think about MERT, holy shit they are legit.

Bring Your A-Game To The Pre-Game With A-Gut
Before she graduated, a wise Penn woman once told us quite possibly the most inspiring words ever. She said the most important thing we could do before graduation is to drink as often as possible on Penn's dime. Seniors, one such opportunity is here tomorrow.
It's Time For Philo To Be Useful And Hook Us Up With Wine-- Look! The Philo Wine Class is back! For just $25 a class, you too can learn how to be a pretentious dick... about wine. It's like the Preceptorial, except six classes long and you can actually get into it. Classes start March 23rd, so sign up (if you'll be 21) asap.
OMG, LT's Closed
In a stunning turn of events many are calling the "end of an era," the beloved La Terrasse has closed for good today. Although the sign says "renovations," sources in the know say the bar/restaurant is done.
Found On A Frat Listserv: Shower Power
Generally a haven for raunchy stories, offensive photos and unadulterated debauchery, fraternity listservs occasionally produce gems so amusing that we must share with the world. The latest in silly: a detailed ranking of one house’s showers, complete with justifications and a scoring system.
Greek Lady Get Crunk
Can we just have the whole bottle for (according to our math) eight bucks? For delivery, please.
In Case You Made It Through All Of Valentine's Day Without Vomitting
Update: Okay, well, we had these really awesome pictures of this super-sappy met-at-Wharton couple taking their wedding photos around Penn, but they and Natalie threw a shitfit and said we couldn't put them on the blog so they're down. We have instead put up our artist's rendition of what what going on in the photos. Still tryna vom? View the real versions here.
And Then Penn Helped Found College In Kazakhstan
Hey, anyone helped a Central Asian country create its first-ever research university lately? Because that's what our Graduate School of Education did in Kazakhstan. You know, casually establishing "Nazarbayev University, an organic, Kazakhstani-run preeminent research university that allows academic freedom and governance."
PSA: Aqua Is Not BYO Anymore
And it is so disappointing. First Strikes, now Aqua, a downtown favorite-- seems the shitty birthday party market has taken a real blow this year. Did you guys know about this? Cuz we were pretty blindsided.
Skulls' Charter Is Suspended-- According to official word from the DP, a verdict for Skulls has (sort of) been reached. Their charter is, as of now, "suspended," but it's anyone's guess as to what that means. The fraternity is not allowed to hold any "activities," begging the question, "What counts as an activity?" Oh, frat drama.
Our Chess Team Is Legit-- Found in the DP today: an article about our BAMF chess team. They won the Ivy League championship! One player even mentions getting his "swag on" when he walks around the tournament. Cheers to getting laid.
Governor Ed Rendell Thinks US Is "Nation Of Wusses"
Add this to reasons we love the Penn alum, professor, and all-around badass outgoing governor of Pennsylvania. The NFL postponed Sunday night's Eagles game due to the snowstorm no one will shut up about, so the gov had some choice words:
Adderall Might Not Work As Well As You Think
Getting your grades back and wondering what went wrong? Poppin' bottles of addy and still not getting that coveted A? Maybe it's because the pillz don't work as well as we all think they do.
Penn Law Professor Has Side Job Inspring DADT Images
Law prof Tobias Barrington Wolff is making his media rounds as a newly-minted "icon of Don't Ask Don't Tell repeal." This Daily Intel article features tears falling down his face, while the official White House press release on the matter simply has him looking... something. Sad? Incredulous? Awesome? Not sure.

Four Loko Famous
A few Penn kids were spotted on ABC channel 6 last night (whoa, dream big) after attending a "Four Loko dinner" at the Adsum restaurant. If nothing else, please just appreciate the segment's title, "Blackout A La Carte." Whattup, local news!
Bro-cial Media
While you may have spent this weekend bragging about how many formals you got invited to, one fraternity was determined to highlight their social season in a different way. In an email that is both hilarious and precious, this frat attempts to show the ultimate proof of brotherhood: a Foursquare badge.
Jew Crew Outdoes Itself
It's still the festival of lights. Happy last night of Hanukkah! xoxo, Rodin.
Shit Got Real At Copa
Freshmen, West Philadelphians, and other denizens of Copa, take note: some major changes are underfoot at the beloved mid-week spot.
A New Way To Creep...A Little
"Like a Little" is Craigslist Missed Connections + (Shoutouts/CollegeACB) - negativity x GoodCrush. You anonymously write to someone that's caught your eye, using as much or as little detail as you deem "anonymously flirty." LAL is still pretty new, so could everyone please start using it? We'd love to see more gems like this: At South 36th: Female, Black hair. You seem to be of some sort of exotic south asian descent. I am yearning for those big brown eyes to connect with mine, and for those flawless lips to someday caress mine. Although it looks like you have gone days without showering, you still remain the most stunning girl in all of this land called penn.
